The Philadelphia Experiment, which was referred to in RASL, is an alleged military experiment in which the Navy destroyer escort, the U.S.S. Eldridge, was claimed to be rendered invisible. Spooky. To learn more, Wiki Philadelphia Experiment.

Thank you, Renee for your nice review on Goodreads for THORN:

“This was pretty good for college age strips. There’re some plot holes, but the characters and art make up for those. The essays and extra art included provide some nice history without bogging the book down. I found it a bit surprising Smith wasn’t able to get a syndication deal for Bone, but comic pages are notoriously calcified. Maybe he’d have had better luck if Bloom County hadn’t been around. They’re completely different things but have a similar look and vibe. I’m glad I got the physical book from the Kickstarter campaign and not just the digital copy. It’s beautifully made: oversized with only two strips per page.”

Thorn by Jeff Smith – “Jeff Smith’s Bone series is a staple through which young readers have found their way into comics and fantasy for years. Now, travel back to the early years of Smith’s career with Thorn: Tales from the Lantern, his first fantasy comic strip series! This collection of work has very rarely seen print and features ideas and characters that Smith would eventually develop into Bone!”
